Temporary & Preliminary Notices are indicated by a (T) or a (P) in Section 1.
Please note that Nautical charts are not amended by the Canadian Hydrographic Service for Temporary (T) and Preliminary (P) Notices. It
is recommended that mariners chart these corrections in pencil. The list of charts affected by Temporary and Preliminary Notices are revised
and promulgated quarterly in Section 1 of the Monthly Edition.

Please note that, in addition to the temporary and preliminary changes normally advertised as (T) and (P) Notices, there are a
few permanent changes to aids to navigation that have been advertised as Preliminary Notices to Mariners while charts are being updated for
new editions.

Marine Information Report & Suggestion Sheet
Mariners are requested to notify the responsible authorities when new or suspected dangers to navigation are discovered, changes observed in aids to navigation or corrections to publications are seen
to be necessary. Such communications can be made using the Marine Information Report & Suggestion Sheet inserted on the last
page of each monthly edition of Notices to Mariners.

Canadian Hydrographic Service - Information Published in Section 2 of Notices to Mariners
Mariners are advised that only the most critical changes that directly affect safety to navigation are issued in Section 2 – Chart Corrections. This limitation
is required to ensure that charts remain as clear and easy to read as possible. As a result, mariners may see minor discrepancies of a
non-critical nature between information in official publications. For example, a small change in the nominal range or focal height of a light
may not result in the production of a chart correction in Notices to Mariners, but may result in a correction in the List of Lights, Buoys and
Fog Signals.

In case of discrepancy between information provided on CHS charts relating to aids to navigation, and the List of Lights Buoys and Fog Signals
publication, the latter shall be deemed as containing the most up-to-date information

Canadian Nautical Charts & Publications
A source list of Canadian nautical charts and publications is published in Notice No. 14 of the Notices to Mariners Annual Edition 2017. The source supply and the prices
effective at the time of printing are listed. For current chart edition dates refer to the following web site:
http://www.chs-shc.gc.ca/charts-cartes/paper-papier/index-eng.asp

NOTE: Cette publication est aussi disponible en français.

CHART CORRECTIONS - SECTION 2

Corrections to nautical charts will be listed in numerical order by chart number. Each chart correction listed applies only
to that particular chart. Related charts, if any, will have their own specific correction listed separately.

Users should also refer to CHS Chart 1: Symbols, Abbreviations and Terms for additional information pertaining to the correction of charts.

The illustration below describes the elements that will comprise a typical Section 2 chart correction.

The last correction number is identified with the LNM/D or Last Notice to
Mariners Number / Date.

Users can subscribe for free to the email notification service
to receive notifications when charts of interest are updated, including their patches, as well as when a new monthly edition becomes available online.

ADVISORY NOTICES TO SHIPPING (WRITTEN AND BROADCAST)

The Canadian Coast Guard is implementing a number of changes to the aids to navigation system in Canada.

These changes are advertised as Notices to Shipping (Written and Broadcast) by the Canadian Coast Guard, and
are then followed up with Notices to Mariners, then charts are updated by hand correction, reprints or new editions.

Mariners are advised that all relevant Written Notices to Shipping should be kept until superseded by Notices
to Mariners or through revised charts issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS).

are not essential to navigation. Previous printings of the current edition remain in force.

CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - PRINT ON DEMAND CHARTS - CARE AND USE

Background

By providing nautical charts to the public, the goal of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) is to provide services for safe navigation in a fiscally responsible manner. As a result, CHS continues to expand its portfolio of nautical paper charts that are printed using Print On Demand (POD) technology. These charts are easily recognized by their whiter paper and the coloured logo of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. This new technology enables CHS to print charts in a more efficient manner while enhancing chart content through being able to quickly add new and important information. POD technology provides customers with up-to-date charts without the historical hand-drawn corrections or glued-on patches. Additionally, this technology eliminates out-of-stock situations which arise with the traditional printing and warehousing methods. In the event of a national emergency, CHS can respond to the appropriate authorities with best available information very quickly.

Care of Your POD Chart

CHS encourages its customers to handle the POD charts more carefully than the traditional lithographic charts. When plotting information on POD charts, use HB pencils and apply limited pressure. Testing has suggested that an Indian gum eraser is more effective than alternatives when used on the product. This eraser is also suitable for charts printed using lithographic processes.

Mariners are advised that ECDIS may not display some isolated shoal depths when operating in
"base or standard display" mode. Route planning and monitoring alarms for these shoal depths may not always be activated.
To ensure safe navigation and to confirm that a planned route is clear of such dangers, mariners should visually
inspect the planned route and any deviations from it using ECDIS configured to display "all data". The automated
voyage planning check function should not be solely relied upon.

The Canadian Coast Guard is modernizing and consolidating its Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centres.
Clients will continue to receive the high-quality service they have come to expect.

Once complete, there will be a total of 12 MCTS Centres strategically located across the country. Additional information pertaining
to this project will be advertised to clients by all available means.

Western Region

Comox MCTS will consolidate to Victoria MCTS in Winter/Spring 2016

The new technology will increase efficiency permitting employees to have a greater ability to focus on the safety
services they provide to mariners. Mariners are encouraged to visit the Radio Aids to Marine Navigation (RAMN),
www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/Marine-Communications/Home and Notices to Mariners (NOTMAR), www.notmar.gc.ca PART 3
on a monthly basis for updated information and potential changes to contact information and marine broadcast
schedules.

Mariners are advised that the tidal levels listed in the 2016 edition of canadian tide and current tables, volumes 2 and 3 have been updated. This revision is aimed to get more precise tidal predictions in time and height. this will result in corrections to the tidal information table shown on charts. These corrections will be published in 2016, through notices to mariners.

ERRATUM:

Take note that notices to mariners regarding the chart 3313 (sheet 11 and 12) on June 24th 2016 should have been published in the Monthly Notices to Mariners, No. 6, 2016, Part 2. The information about this chart is published in the current edition.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR NATIONAL WILDLIFE AREAS.

National Wildlife Areas of Canada

National Wildlife Areas (NWAs) are protected and managed according to the
Wildlife Area Regulationsunder the Canada Wildlife Act.
The primary purpose of most NWAs is the protection and conservation of wildlife and their habitat. For this purpose,
and according to the legislation, activities that could interfere with the conservation of wildlife are prohibited in an
NWA. Consequently, a few NWAs are not accessible to the public and there are prohibited activities in all of them.
Nonetheless, the Minister of the Environment has the ability to authorize most of the activities, whether through
public notice or the issuance of permits. Those activities benefiting wildlife and their habitat, or are not inconsistent
with the purpose for which the NWA was established and are consistent with the management plan goals for the NWA may be permitted.

Canadian and foreign ships are not allowed to enter these protected areas without a permit. Any foreign ship captain who is planning to enter in any of these protected areas without a permit, claiming a right of innocent passage, is strongly advised to communicate with Environment and Climate Change Canada (Canadian Wildlife Service) at least two weeks in advance.
In the Nunavut territory, Inuit have certain rights as per the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA) and the Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement (IIBA).
